So for the last few months i've been filling up at around 300km. I have an Injen CAI and no other engine mods.

I just filled up then and my needle was just above empty (i do realise that the needle is a little incorrect)

I filled up the tank today at 287KM and my car took 41L of fuel, i know the tank holds 80L but i have never driven the car to completely empty, in fact i don't think i've even done over 400km to the tank.. I feel so stupid because i've been filling up way before necessary, with the driving i do i should theoretically be getting close to 500KM to a tank.

Facepalm.

I usually get around 600km before filling which is usually just after the fuel light comes on. I usually manage 11.5L/100km in winter. And about 12.0L/100km in summer (heavy AC use in summer). Which gives me a theoretical range of 660-700km per tank.

All light city driving.

6MT sedan. With shell 95RON fuel.

I usually fill at 1/4 left by which point there's 400km on the clock. Was avg 12l/100km. No ac, start stop traffic though. Stock as a rock.

After changing the diff fluid, this seems to be getting better. Now looks like closer to 10l/100km but we've been doing a lot of motorway Kim's during this season.

Mines stock and I got 730km driving from Sydney. Around town I get around 550 ish

That's impressive!

aha I don't even trust the needle anymore, i just watch how many km's i've done and where i've been driving/how i've been driving then fill up when i deem approprite. But this time i've going to let it run to 500 then refill and see how close to empty i am then.

I have only done 1 highway trip in mine. Townsville - Yeppoon and return.

1 tank each way, about 740km. Low fuel light had just come on when I arrived in Yeppoon. After filling in Yeppoon, i still had 1/4 of a tank left when arriving in Townsville.

From memory, I averaged about 7.8L/100km overall.

After reflashing with the Uprev software, my first full fill up on 98 till now was 790kms. Not even kidding. Will be interesting to see if this can happen again... :S

Did you drive to Sydney?

Cruise control 95kmh behind a road train?

James sometimes an automatic with cruise control can actually be worse on fuel than a manual because of the constant gear changes. At least i know for a fact this is the case for the mid 2000 model Prado's.

Good question.. under want conditions did you get 790km from 1 tank? if it was highway KM, then this is about normal.. if it was city driving then it is very impressive.

I'm guessing that must be highway km unless he's driving a little 1.5L v4. Max i've gotten out of mine for highway km is about 700 and that's with a little bit of enthusiastic driving.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
